GOLD MEDAL WINNER FOR LEGAL THRILLERS, GLOBAL BOOK AWARDS

Who strangled Jimmy Lyons at the Pink Pony?

The world-class Port Huron to Mackinac sailboat race has just finished at Mackinac Island. As soon as the boats dock, the sailors head for the legendary Pink Pony, including Jimmy Lyons and his crew. But the night takes a grisly turn. Jimmy is found dead the next morning in the bar, strangled by a string of Christmas tree lights.

Murdo Halverson, Jimmy's former partner and one of the crew, is arrested for the murder. But each of the crew, had a reason to kill him. As did his wife, Jane.

Burr Lafayette, recently divorced and the deposed head of the litigation department of a major Detroit law firm, is recruited to defend Murdo. A man at loose ends, Burr is a brilliant but troubled lawyer. He prefers boats over courtrooms, dogs over clients, and martinis over just about everything else.

He’s also not a criminal lawyer, but he takes the case because he’s nearly bankrupt, and he desperately needs the money. The prosecutor has damning evidence and witnesses that make Murdo look guilty. Unless Burr can find a suspect, Murdo is going to be convicted of first-degree murder.
